I am not one to leave reviews or complain; it's my first review on google but I felt obliged to do so after my horrible experience with one of the servers here. He was extremely rude, he worked on the coffee machines and was English / maybe northern. The cheese and vegemite scrolls were labelled bacon and cheese and vice versa which meant I picked up, paid for, and proceeded to start eating (until I faced a huge piece of bacon) - a cheese and bacon scroll. I haven't eaten meat for over 5 years so this was quite scary for me, but all I did was let him know that what I had paid for was wrong and he proceeded to give me an exceptionally rude response, I asked if I could swap for a new (and correct one) and he could barely be bothered to respond. I then threw away the scroll with meat in as neither myself nor my partner would have eaten it and he proceeded to shout at me 'what you doing that's such a waste' ...after barely giving me a response initially. I felt extremely intimidated by him and after I had seen the labels were the wrong way round he just laughed at me and then proceeded to keep looking over at me whilst I was eating my food. I felt incredibly upset at how rude this person was when all I was trying to do was resolve the issue and let him know that the labels were the wrong way round; a small issue to someone who might not be a vegetarian but a HUGE issue to vegetarians/Muslims who do not eat pork. SORT THIS OUT! and sort out your staff, he was the rudest customer server I have ever come across and it put me in a state of shock for a couple of hours that someone with that little manners and etiquette would be employed by a business that sees so many people come...

The pastries it self are divine. The jam donuts and croissants? Pure bliss. Theyâre flaky, sweet, and just melt in your mouth. Thereâs a pretty much variety. You can't leave without trying their famous rolls and veggie pasties either!
For all the coffee lovers out there, youâre in luck. They whip up a mean flat white that pairs perfectly with any pastry you pick. And on those hot days? Grab their iced coffee; itâs refreshing and energizing. Some say it can be a bit hit-or-miss, but mostly, people walk away happy.
Despite all the deliciousness, a few areas could use some TLC. Sometimes, it gets crowded, especially late morning, and finding a seat can be a challenge. The lines can get long, and occasionally the wait times stretch out a bit. But hey, itâs a bakery on an island â a little patience goes a long way.
It would be awesome if they kept up with the cleaning a bit more diligently. No one likes fighting off seagulls or dealing with leftover crumbs from the past visitors.
Rottnest Bakery encapsulates island life charm. Itâs the perfect spot to fuel up before hitting the beach or exploring the island. Reasonably priced for island standards and with a good range of options
If you want to beat the rush, swing by early. Also, keep an eye out for freshly baked batches theyâre...
   Read moreAttention Brindle family, Dear Greg, You are the custodian of WAs most iconic bakery, the Rottnest Island Bakery. However, and sadly, the current offering, with the utmost respect, Greg, is pig slops. Everybody is thinking this but they wonât tell you.
The spinach ricotta is full of rice (redolent of fly lava, no mirth intended), bland, tasteless, with greasy heavy pastry. If it actually had any taste, I could identify it as probably, a spinach ricotta roll.
Letâs go to the pies Greg, which are breaking everybodyâs hearts. On Easter Sunday we tried to eat two steak and peppers and a standard meat pie. They were inedible with heavy greasy sodden pastry, a stewed concoction full of gelatinous matter; and a struggle to find a few morsels of tasteless meat.
At Easter, may I say Hosanna, to the bakery. And Greg as the custodian of this world famous island bakery, please get this right, otherwise, my boating trips to Geordie bay will sadly decline in the absence of the famous culinary delight of the Rotto pie at the settlement.
Yours sincerely, A seasoned, hungry boatie, desperately craving a seasoned Rotto pie.
Tip: increase the price from $8.50 to $10, and use the very best...
